- "This ship isn't a fighter. It isn't armed right!?"
"It wasn't meant for fighting, but it should still be sturdy." - ―Viv'Nia Nia'Viv and Lily Tora-Asi
The Jedi transportation ship was a[2] type of shuttle[1] used by the Jedi Order.[2] In the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace Disaster[3] in 232 BBY,[4] Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi and Jedi Master Arkoff used a Jedi transportation ship to help transport refugees to the Outer Rim planet Banchii.[3] Later, Tora-Asi and the younglings Nima Allets and Viv'Nia Nia'Viv used the ship to travel to and from the Starlight Beacon space station.[2]
